havent gotten to ride my double barrel venoms yet but like i said the khiro reflex combo is great! yeah 40 was amazing! the place i did it at was so sketchy though! it was on a bike path with great pavement but at the end there was only about a 3 foot area i could go out of or else i would have hit a metal gate after that its either ride into a rock wall or up a 3 foot wide rough pavement path that was almost straight up hill! i made it though so happy! now i just need to find a place to go that fast around here...

I just bought some working gloves from a hardware store, an then velcroed black velvet slide pucks to that. Been using these gloves for a long time.


I just use a janky leather jacket and leather pants (not a set..) they would cost around 250 but I got them free. On eBay you can get some really good cheap used leathers.

nice! im hopefully getting leathers soon so i can start doing bigger downhills and races

I would suggest you to get some bumsavers too, I feel much more confident with those.

Bumpity bump..

Placed 8th in the Seismic world cup of slalom downhill event. And tried my hand at slalom for the first time and did alright, if you've never tried slalom do it, it's incredibly fun and the scene is easily the friendliest scene i've ever been apart of. I feel like the new kid on the block, getting hooked up with a full slalom complete from sk8kings and newfound friends. Lots of good times are to be had.

Go fast.

Green helmet, jeans, white t-shirt is me, but I don't think I'm in the vid. It was a sick day tho.

I think you might be standing in the back by the bus at 0:17.

In other news, I threw the rocky mountain outlaw yesterday. Almost 40 riders from all over rado showed up.

1st - JOel Putrah
2nd - Coop
3rd - Kevin Herring

Sweet, how big was the prize money (if there was any?) and was it sponsored?

I didn't really ride with the big pack of people so I guess that's why I'm not in many vids, I stayed in the back and threw lots of speed checks.

I started learning how to coleman today (did a big session today with about 20 riders showing up at the same spot randomly ), I got bored of only doing toesides, but now my ass hurts when I sit .
